Everybody lies in job interviews

Speak for yourself. I have never lied in a job interview. I’d like to, I think it’s a good strategy and I don’t respect corporations or think they deserve honesty. But I can’t, I’m… Idk, too autistic or something to actually do it in the moment.

Yes the first one came out wrong. The “this” which I claim is not as much of a thing outside Germany is the insane pressure to pack your bag extremely quickly, not the feeling of anxiety.

Anything is a normal thing for it to say, it will say basically whatever you want

I mean the level of pressure is lower elsewhere than in Germany, of course it’s still easy to feel anxious anywhere

then go running to do stuff where they further isolate themselves

Mmm yeah, cos it’s such quality time interacting with the cashier. Like, you’re not totally wrong about the problem, isolation does make us even less able to handle interaction, but making people bag groceries for a living is not the way to solve that problem. Anyway, it’s not fair to force your desire to have a conversation on someone who is trapped working somewhere.

the anxiety of packing your bags too slowly

Haha, spotted the German. This isn’t really a thing elsewhere, not to that extent.

Oh we’re speeding up the problems alright

We did that to quite s large degree even before we were modern humans, 2-400kya

That’s clearly yahtzee

Yeah, that’s very true. But they’ll do the bad thing it even if there’s a referendum on it.

No, and the people who he’s writing to don’t know what an Anheuser-Busch is. What it means is “remember that thing you were angry at? think about how angry you were again”.

Most Nazis just went back to normal German society, only a few sacrificial ones were hunted down.

Sure, but it really is extremely isolated. There are some tiny towns a bit over 100 km away and then it’s thousands of km to anywhere else. Volcanos rarely endanger more than 40 km around them.

You started this discussion saying “it’s reasonable” but you’re unwilling to give any reasons beyond “I believe it is sinful”. Instead of engaging with any of the positions I put forward, you went on a tangent about crack without saying why it is at all similar or why it would be morally wrong even if it were. I don’t believe you’re stupid enough to think that that really carries any logical weight as an argument, so yeah, the only remaining conclusion I can make is that it’s bigotry instead.

It is stocked in normal supermarkets in France and Switzerland (at least, surely others too).

I mean, cool, if you want to outright affirm that you are a bigot that is your prerogative. But evoking the spectre of addiction to hard drugs to denigrate sex workers is a shitty thing to do, and it would lead one to believe you’re not being honest when you claim you think the world is big enough for you and them both.

I’m sure many people can handle their crack better than me

Way to tell on yourself ;)

for best results, sexual activities, love and commitment should go hand in hand

This is fine, I agree with it as written, but I dispute that “commitment” has very much to do with sexuality, except sort of tangentially, in that people are often bad at managing their feelings around it, or simply have extremely strong feelings which are hard to manage. It’s true that if something affects you emotionally to the degree that it has negative impacts on your partner, you shouldn’t do that thing, but that would apply to any stressful job where you took your stress out on your loved ones.

you shouldn’t make money out of something so intimate and important as if it were nothing

This on the other hand is the kind of thing that religious people say when they don’t want to admit that they see women (and let’s be real, it’s always women we’re talking about) as property.

Of course you can date or not date anyone for whatever reason, nobody can make you. So indeed, the world is big enough for that.

admitting it is too much so you have to fight strawmen

This is exactly what you are doing with the second statement. If you were to honestly dissect why you think that “making money out of it” would mean that “it were nothing” you would be able to see that too. It implies that someone doing OF somehow lessens the commitment to their partner. Robbing him of something you see as rightfully his. It is this deeply engrained patriarchal mentality which is in the end responsible for most of the emotional issues.

And sure, if you can’t handle it, that’s ok, many people can’t. We all have things that are hard for us. But it’s better not to lie to yourself about where those feelings come from.
